I think his hit rate is very good considering the constraints. Even with back up players, which I think is seriously underrated by some Walsall fans. We almost have two players for every position now. Something we never had under Whitney.

Roberts/Dunn

Norman/Devlin
Scarr/Johnson
Guthrie/???
Leahy/Laird

Zeli/Morris
Dobson/Osbourne
Edwards/Kinsella
Jarvis/Kouyar

Cook/Gordon
Ferrier/Mussa/Candlin

Would I have massive amounts of confidence in certain players on that list? No but at least we have bases covered. At times last season we were one injury away from total disaster. I think he’s juggled the budget to squad depth ratio very well.

Agreed. Especially with a large chunk of the budget already being tied up by players who were still under contract when he arrived, which is why I believe when he has the full budget to work with he’s capable of building a solid L1 team - here’s hoping anyway

Looks like he could at the very least worry the other defenders into putting in a shift,and maybe he could turn out to be another Graham Forbes…never understand how no one else spotted Forbes before Tom Coakley brought him in.
